Portable tissue valet holder and dispenser

ABSTRACT

A portable tissue valet is a reusable personal tissue holder and dispenser. The tissue valet holds and dispenses a variety of tissues or other paper products (hereto forth any use of the terms “tissue” and/or “tissues” refers to a plurality of paper products, wet or dry). Similar to a wallet or bill fold, the tissue valet has an interior compartment that holds and dispenses tissues and an exterior pocket that holds other miscellaneous items (such as keys and/or identification cards). It is a single folded tissue holder and dispenser with an elongated aperture in the interior compartment. The aperture lip dispenses individual tissues which are readily accessible by a user. The tissue valet is a convenient means to carry pocket tissues. When the tissue valet dispenses its last tissue, simply add more tissues to the interior compartment, and it is ready for use.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

In the present marketplace, pocket tissues are carried in disposable plastic packs. Once the last tissue is dispensed, the plastic packet is discarded, and it is replaced with a new disposable pack of tissues. Tissue valets are a durable, alternative solution to disposable waste created by plastic tissue packs. It is a portable, refillable carrying case for pocket tissues. Unlike any other product of its kind, tissue valets are a convenient and eco-friendly solution for carrying and dispensing tissues.

This invention relates to the manufacture of pocket-sized tissue holders and dispensers (hereto forth referred to as “tissue valets”) produced with a variety of materials, colors, and ornamental designs. A tissue valet has an interior compartment that stores and dispenses tissues, or other paper products. The reverse-side of the tissue valet contains an exterior pocket for personal storage items.
